New features of the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro

Reasons to buy the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro

• Battery life With 4 hours of continous Full HD footage, the Action 5 Pro has the longest runtime available amongst it's main competitors.
• Low light performance The new SuperNight mode introduced with the Action 5 Pro is ideal for capturing video in very low light situations and places it ahead of the competition.
• Pressure gauge The Action 5 Pro includes a pressure gauge which enables it to mesure the depth when filming underwater. This allows it to adjust it's settings accordingly and improve footage quality when snorkeling or scuba-diving.
• Waterproof and weather-proof The Action 5 Pro is waterproof down to -66ft / -20m without a diving case, which makes it an amazing camera for snorkeling enthousiasts. It is also usable in conditions between -4°F / -20°C and 113°F / 45°C which makes it a great camera for snowboarding, skiing or other winter sports but also activities in extreme heat.

Reasons to avoid the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro
